Nope, i use plastic cutlery, cutting boards, salt/pepper shakers, bowls, plates, etc. Exclusively. Stay mad.

>>15370578
btw im not a pregnant woman so this shit is utterly irrelevant to me, but good luck with your new son/daughter i guess.

>Stay mad.
What makes you think I'm mad? I'm concerned

>>15370605
microplastics also enter the male body, friend.

>>15370608
Ok? So you're concerned about microplastics entering your placenta. Did you really have to make an entirely new thread about it? Also, is it a boy or a girl?

>>15370578
I've used a coconut shell cutting board for the last 7 years
it's fantastic.

I air cut my meats. I don't use a cutting board like some retard

Ok, and? Are you that much of a pudsy that you're scared of a few itsy bitsy MICROplastics? Grow some balls, man.

“Almost all plastics leach endocrine disrupting chemicals, BPA-free onces partly even more”
>Results: Almost all commercially available plastic products we sampled—independent of the type of resin, product, or retail source—leached chemicals having reliably detectable EA, including those advertised as BPA free. In some cases, BPA-free products released chemicals having more EA than did BPA-containing products.
>Conclusions: Many plastic products are mischaracterized as being EA free if extracted with only one solvent and not exposed to common-use stresses. However, we can identify existing compounds, or have developed, monomers, additives, or processing agents that have no detectable EA and have similar costs. Hence, our data suggest that EA-free plastic products exposed to common-use stresses and extracted by saline and ethanol solvents could be cost-effectively made on a commercial scale and thereby eliminate a potential health risk posed by most currently available plastic products that leach chemicals having EA into food products.

You will have difficulties growing balls if you consume endocrine disruptors. They are fucking wit your hormones (that's the endocrine system). Same goes for non-stick utensils as well as canned food. Boys regularly grow gyno due to consuming stuff from it. T-levels are dropping since the 70s, and that's mostly due o an over abundance of plastic in the food chain.

I use a micro parmesan cheese grater to grate my cutting board to infuse the plastic microshavings into my toothpaste.

air cut is when you throw your meat in the air and cur it with a strong slice and catch the meat on the way down. Its very popular here in Romania

I've been air cutting for 5 or 6 years. Changed my life, really. My carbon footprint is like so small now.

>>15370723
>muh sources

don't care

>REEEE YOU CANT CUT MEAT ON WOOD ITS POROUS IT WILL ABSORB THE BACTERIA!!!!

This is an old wives tale that has been passed down among dumb moms for generations as "common sense" which is often bullshit. Here are the facts:

-A properly oiled board will repel a lot of bacteria.
-Many types of wood have natural antimicrobial properties.
-Wood acts as a natural "wick" for moisture, so as it dries through transpiration, the bacteria actually dehydrate to death.

When do plastics leach? I have a plastic thermos I use to drink water daily (it has a refill counter, so I like it), but it's always cold water. Does it still affect me? Should I switch to glass / wood / metal containers, utensils, etc.?

Just because it's science doesn't mean it's right - nobody said that. That's why the source is provided you massive autist. You're supposed to fucking read it and come to an informed conclusion. If you can't understand why sources are linked, then I sincerely don't understand how can you even type with all that drool coming out of your mouthbreathing hole.

i'm not using plastid knives and forks...and don't call me Shirley.

>>15371536
always, plastic leeches always. microscopic fragments of plastic flake off of the larger piece, which then gets into your body, where it spreads through your system and chemicals are absorbed.

it's not as big of a deal as it's made out to be; the effects are incredibly destructive ecologically, but the environment has caused, and adapted to, far worse things. animals will adapt to reject plastic xenoestrogens, bacteria will adapt to use it as food, and life will go on.

>nooooooooooooooooo stop reminding me that my cheap plastic cookware is bad for my health

I can understand that, it's similar for me but with plastic forks. I don't like how they feel and how they can snap

>>15370578
Nice try avoiding them but the reality is they are in everything from tap water to bottled to anything coming out of a can. Meanwhile you're ingesting glyphosate whenever you eat anything (he actually believes organic is organic) and you're sucking down benzines and other aromatic hydrocarbons whenever you go anywhere. You're ingesting endocrine disruptors and all kinds of other fun chemicals constantly. By all means try to control things if you want but it's really a practice in OCD.

I only use the dishwasher maybe once every two weeks, but at that rate a 5 buck birch cutting board seems to split right about never (which is also how often it gets oiled).

>>15370897
Hard to prove, but probably mostly cancer and endocrine disruption. Infertility, goiter, diabetes, allergies.

Especially infertility and allergies are epidemic, but it's probably caused by a combination of a ton of environmental pollutants. Microplastics, pesticides, persistent organic pollutants especially PFAS, heavy metals ... we're really doing a number on the environment and a lot of it will stick around till subduction recycles it in the earth core.

>>15370578

Obesity lowers testosterone too, I'd guess that's the main reason why. People are just generally unhealthy.

>>15371582
Adaptatin takes time, we are pushin that shit out far too quickly. As far as we can see animals only ge sterilised due to EDs. No time for adaptaion. Same for humans btw.

>>15373272
The greater the effect, the faster the adaptation. There is a cliff from which extinction occurs, but it is a very hard cliff to reach. Even with nightmare diseases like hiv, something like 8% of the european population is genetically immune, and if hiv was let loose on us we would be wholly immune to it eventually.

If plastic xenoestrogens cause fertility issues in 80% of a population, and sterility in 10%, that means 80% of the population is resistant, and 10% is potentially already immune. In such a case, we will eventually be fine.

>>15373300
HIV isn't even nearly as bad as plastics, retard. And we are immun becaue it's reltaed to the blac plague, which stillw asn't as harmfull as plastics, because if you were genetically gifted, you would survive. There is no gen making you immun to hormornal fuck ups. You can't blow high concentrations of it into rivers and expect the animals to adapt. That's the reason why mass extinctions occur. The envoirment canges too quick for natural adaptation.

Fish living in high density ED water are simply changing their sex to all female, making reproduction nearly impossible. Those reproducing, do it in far to low numbers with far too much birth defects. If anything, every animal evolved high enouth to have a ED system will die out ue to lacking redproduction and their niche be taken over by lower lifeforms, as did always happen in mass exinctions. That's why were here and not cool guy t rex.

>>15373300
Wrong. You can't be immun to estrogens and reproduce. It's an essential part of your rerproductive cycle. Endocrine disruptors aren't just bacteria or virus, they are your natural occurig essential building blocks in such a massive amount that your body can't work properly. There is no natural way of gettin immun and keep natural reproduction alive. The only thing possible, is for humans to go all in-vitro. Which in of itself will kill humanity due to the side effects.

Please stop spreading your retarded 6th grade understanding of the problem. The only people unaffected in studies, are those which aren't exposed. People which filter their water and go the extra steps or do not life in industrial zones.

>>15373313
Akshully, the extintions of the dinosaurs fits greatly into my point, the one most blatant being that dinosaurs didn't fucking go extinct, the dinosaurs that adapted to the extreme conditions survived and flourished. The extreme loss of food sources due to the asteroid event caused egg predation to become a major food source, which filtered out all the animals with innefficient reproductive habits. Something like half of an animals gestation period is just to develop the teeth, which obviously isn't going to work when everything is trying to eat them. Mammals evolved internal gestation to protect their young, and breastfeeding so they could be born before teeth developed. They survived. Some mammals instead continued laying eggs and instead just gave up their teeth for snouts and rudimentary beaks. They survived. Some dinosaurs also did this, developing complex beaks and hiding their eggs in holes and trees. They survived. The vast majority of land animals are adapted specifically due to extinction events, because that's what life does. It adapts. Microplastics fucking large portions of the ecosystem just means that we'll be able to see the adaptations to it 100 million years from now, which isn't at all a bad thing. If it wasn't for extinction events, life on earth would just be in a rut of the same successful shit from 300 million years ago.

>>15373331
Xenoestrogens literally aren't estrogens you cunt, they're "close enough" chemicals that fit into our estrogen receptors. They can evolve more specific receptors, they can evolve blockers to keep out xenoestrogens, they can evolve systems to regulate and maintain the amounts of estrogen they are absorbing. If you think a several billion years old life form can't adapt, you're flat out being a doomsayer and nothing more. Estrogens in the ecosystem is a disaster, but to say it's apocalyptic is laughable.

>>15373352
>goy it your plastic, it's fine, you will either die from sterility or become another Golem species all together to survives - it's a natural!
You are retarded because you do not understand that unlike external pressurs, throwing in internal estrogens into the food chain will preent any evolution due to a lack of fucking reproduction.

Every day I hope that we will get an american filter on this board.

>>15373361
Sure life will prevail, just not life as we know it and certainly not human life worth living - becaue we re to sensitive to those changes outside of technological short cuts. The more complex a lifeform the worse their adaptation. Roaches sure as hell wot suffer anon. Are you a jew, I mean, roach?

>>15373375
Animals that can reproduce despite the abnormally high amounts of fake estrogens will reproduce and spread their genes. You can say "but that's impossible" and be as wrong as you like. A lot of animals will get fucked, but that's the way it works, and the ones that don't get fucked will hang around.

>>15373380
Are you going to actually present an argument or are you just gonna call people kikes? Do you actually think humans are a fragile species? Because we're not. We've already survived a volcanic extinction event 100,000 years ago, and straight up flourished in the one that happened 12,000-15,000 years ago. We're debatably one of the most ecologically flexible species on the planet.

>>15373391
>a mal omehow can reproduce despite being flooded by estrogens
Nigger, you obviously don't even understnd rproduction. Stop posting your retard hitory channel knowledge on here.

>>15373400
I'm not terribly invested in humanity's survival until the next big natural extinction event.

I want technological civilization to survive, upload themselves into machines and conquer the universe. Needing to adapt to higher level of carcinogens and endocrine disruptors is just one more of the problems we don't really need in the short term.

Technological civilization is about to hit a cliff, regardless of human life.

>>15370578
Unless you get your water from a well, filter the shit out of it, and have somehow removed all synthetic fibers and plastic containers from your home ecosystem, than maybe....maybe you'll avoid your water system being contaminated by microplastics.
